Chapter 783: Chapter 781: Courtship Gathering, The Pearl of the Grassland_1
Lin Qingluo rode Lightning, saying goodbye to Luo Zhan and the others.
The caravan was carrying a large load of goods and moved slowly. Luo Zhan knew this all too well and could only express his regret tactfully.
“Little Qingluo, Brother Zhan can’t accompany you anymore. Remember to keep in touch. Jufeng Trading Company’s inns and restaurants are everywhere, so no matter where you go, you’ll be treated as a VIP.”
“Thank you, Brother Zhan, Qingluo will remember.”
With a graceful bow, Lin Qingluo patted Lightning’s head, and the horse neighed, raising its front hooves and galloping forward like an arrow.
“Ah, youth is so good, riding horses and enjoying life with plenty of time to waste.”
...
Luo Zhan touched his beard-stubbled face, smiled and commanded the caravan to continue moving forward.

In the boundless grassland, the Qiyan Tribe had fallen apart, and their fertile pastures were redistributed. Previously weak tribes could migrate and graze in the lush grasslands.
When the tribes surrendered, the Empress was overjoyed and announced to the world that she would reward the generals who had quelled the rebellion in the southwestern border and the Female Official of the Imperial Court who had eliminated the mastermind and killed the traitorous General Chen Xun.
Xu Ruyun was still recovering from her severe wounds at the border, temporarily leading ten thousand border soldiers stationed in the heart of the grassland. She worked together with the tribes to maintain stability, reassure the people, and establish the prestige of Fengqi Court on the grassland.
The group of young men galloped across the grassland on their horses, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The eight of them, along with their horses, returned to the border soldiers’ camp and joined up with Xu Ruyun, who was also stationed here.
Xu Ruyun was overjoyed to see the young girls return from the barbaric wilderness, looking valiant. She enthusiastically invited the young men to attend a bonfire evening party held by the grassland tribes to welcome and clean off the dust from their travels.
Unable to refuse the invitation, Lin Qingluo discussed it with her two brothers and agreed to Xu Ruyun’s invitation. They planned to rest at the camp for a day before heading south along the West Ridge Mountain Range to southern Xinjiang.
Tired from the horse riding, the young men entered the barracks, crawled into their tents, and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t until sunset that they opened their eyes, giggling and freshening up.>
“Hey, guys, I’ve got some exciting news.”
Shitou, having changed his clothes and strolled around the barracks, came running back with an excited look.
“What’s up? You’re always making a fuss.”
Wang Meng habitually retorted.
“What’s the news?”
Feng Yi, who had a good night’s sleep, didn’t roll his eyes for once.
Shitou winked, “Guess who the bonfire party is being held for tonight?”
“Isn’t it for us?”
Feng Yi looked confused as he scratched the back of his head.
“No way, how could you think that?”
Shitou was speechless, “The bonfire party was scheduled for tonight long ago. We just happened to be here and were able to attend.”
“Oh, then who is it for?”
Feng Yi messed with his hair, not particularly interested.
It didn’t matter who it was for, as long as there was food and drink.
“Ah Ruhan, the granddaughter of the chieftain of the Naiman Tribe and the Pearl of the Grassland.”
Shitou pinched his fingers, raising his voice and putting on airs.
“A girl?”
Feng Yi shivered subconsciously, shedding goosebumps all over the floor.
He was allergic to girls other than his little master and avoided them as much as possible.
“Why is it being held for her?”
Wang Meng frowned, growing impatient.
He was a typical straight man, not good at communicating with girls.
“Hehe.”
Shitou shrugged his shoulders, exchanging ambiguous glances with his brothers.
“Today is Ah Ruhan’s 16th birthday. According to the grassland customs, tonight’s bonfire party is a courtship gathering. All the unmarried 16-year-old girls of the Naiman Tribe will participate. They will sing and dance at the party and choose their favorite husbands.”
What do you think?
